Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
Fences & Gates: Plan, Design, Build is a comprehensive guide for designing, building, and maintaining a fence designed to provide privacy, security, and beauty to a home's landscape. The book offers a practical combination of design, planning, and construction information. All types of fences and gates are covered, including pickets, split-rails, board designs, and more. Wood fences and gates are featured, but there are also chapters on vinyl, chain-link, and other utilitarian systems, such as underground electric pet fences. Individual chapters explain material options and show how to install, finish, and repair many types of posts, rails, and gates with step-by-step photo sequences.




Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Fences & Gates: Plan, Design , Build
I was looking for a book strictly on building gates, but this book was helpful and provided some needed information.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Okay, but not particularly comprehensive
I purchased this book hoping that it would include a detailed explanation of how to build a fence; unfortunately, this book does not contain such details.

What this book does include is a general explanation of fence building concepts, lots of colour photos, and some step-by-step photo sequences; however it is brief on different fence construction techniques, in part because it tries to focus on all types of fences: wood, metal, and plastic. There is a section on building a gate, but again, it's not very comprehensive. In my fence building, I relied more upon the experience of others, and on examining existing fences to understand how they were put together. That's not to say that this book was not useful; but it certainly left most of the research to be done elsewhere using this is a very high-level guide.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Step-by-step how-to instructions for 11 complete projects
Fences & Gates: Plan, Design, Build is a straightforward, no-nonsense, "user friendly" guide to planning, designing, and building aesthetic and practical enclosures for one's own property. More than 400 full colour photographs clearly illustrate step-by-step how-to instructions for eleven complete fence projects in wood, metal, and vinyl in this fine reference for do-it-yourself creators of all skill levels. Readers will learn how to layout fences on flat or sloped ground, how to install solid posts to support the fence, how to build curved fences, how to design and install the classic picket fence, how to design and build with decorative lattice, and how to finish and maintain fences. Also highly recommended "do-it-yourself" titles from Deck Designs (#277369); Creative Homeowner Is Decks (#277162); Yard & Garden Furniture: Plans & Step-By-Step Projects (#277462); Gazebos & Other Outdoor Structures (#27713); What's In Style: Decks (#277183).
